Overview

The Panduit QUICKNET SFQ FQ9N-12-LAU cassette converts a single 12-fiber MPO trunk into six duplex LC/APC connectors for high-density fiber deployments. This Method A cassette uses OS2 singlemode fiber with standard-loss performance, ensuring reliable signal integrity for 10G to 100G Ethernet and Fibre Channel links. The 12-fiber MPO input interfaces with six duplex LC/APC outputs, simplifying polarity management and reducing installation time in data centers, enterprise networks, and central offices. The cassette weighs 2.4 oz (69 g) and measures 5.0 x 128 x 21 mm, fitting standard 1U patch panels and enclosures. Front ports are clearly labeled for quick identification, and the top surface includes a labeling field for asset tracking. The plastic module and composite adapter meet RoHS material restrictions, and the cassette complies with ANSI/TIA-568-C.0 for structured cabling deployments. Compatible with Molex ModLink systems, this cassette supports low insertion loss connections while maintaining front-to-back airflow in hot-aisle/cold-aisle environments.
